    So you earn 60 coins a week in Overwatch 2. A legendary skin costs 1900 coins. That means if you're playing f2p that it'll take you 32 WEEKS to get enough coins to buy a legendary skin... Fix your **** Blizzard. You got rid of loot boxes and implemented an even shittier system.

  • therielleGab gab (@therielleGab) reported

    yeah i have to work at 4 in the morning but at least theres no login queue when i play overwatch

  • lsthief Bara Wojack (@lsthief) reported

    extremely funny that a bandai overwatch clone has better online servers for a competitive experience than a flagship live service FPS that has existed for half a decade

  • JustSomeDude44 Owen (@JustSomeDude44) reported

    Question for anyone that plays Overwatch 2. Why are my hero’s locked? I played overwatch 1, they was all unlocked earlier but when I came back on they was all locked. How do we fix this

  • hellindell 안또 / anto. (@hellindell) reported

    anyone having problems logging to your acc in overwatch 2? i guess the phone number authenticator is live and obviously not working properly even though i activated mine

  • popetheking Zach Skellington 💀🎃 (@popetheking) reported

    @BlizzardCS my Blizzard account is connected to my PlayStation account and always has been but I’m unable to merge my OVERWATCH 1 to 2? Any fix for this I will be pissed to lose all my progress

  • games_n_james James F (@games_n_james) reported

    @BlizzardCS Tried to use my mobile number for overwatch 2 via the QR code and keep getting told it's not a post paid phone number when it is. Area code +44 Also getting the same issue when trying to add it to my battle net account. Help appreciated..

  • BunsBunniie 💫🍓Bunnie💖🌸 (@BunsBunniie) reported

    Something that I dislike about the new overwatch is the payment system. I’m already lagging as it is, but I had accidentally bought Junker Queens ugly skin because of it and the worst part is that they don’t give you a warning before guaranteeing you to buy. Not worth the $20.

  • Undead_CJ Craig John Eaton (@Undead_CJ) reported

    @Th3_one_SucksXD @BlizzardCS And @BlizzardCS won't reply to this but I saw them reply to someone about a WoW issue on an overwatch tweet.

  • CaptainBlitz_ BOOlitz 🎃🦇 (@CaptainBlitz_) reported

    The #Overwatch need to learn what a "live-service" game is lmao ya'll so shocked at the ideal of "infinite content requires infinite money"

  • AveryChirp Avery ♡ (@AveryChirp) reported

    So far after launch ive managed to play 1 game of overwatch 2, on different servers, and now if I try to login it just keeps looping me back to login again. 10/10 game truly

  • gamerjt1105 𝒿𝓉 (@gamerjt1105) reported

    @PlayOverwatch sucks why is none of my stuff from overwatch 1 put into overwatch 2?! Like I thought that’s what they were gonna fix wtf

  • Freyporeon Freyonetta (@Freyporeon) reported

    Ok so Overwatch 2 is basically Overwatch 1 at the moment but it takes ages to get in and I can't link my battle net account yet as the links broken....

  • EggertShallows Eggert Shallows Exploratory Mission (@EggertShallows) reported

    My favourite thing about overwatch 2 being a disaster is that I am exactly the kind of sucker who wants to and would spend stupid money on microtransactions and the game is so broken rn that I literally can't access the in-game store lol

  • sarith2003 Sarith Urvindra 🇱🇰 (@sarith2003) reported

    Anyone having problem saying lost connection to game server , this sucks cause it worked a moment ago now it does not . servers sucks 😐 #Overwatch2 #Overwatch @OverwatchEU

  • Bernaner_ Bernaner (@Bernaner_) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Any fix for being stuck in an endless loop of trying to login to Overwatch 2, all my account details are correct and I can login to another account just not mine.

  • TroubleDeadly Deadly Trouble (@TroubleDeadly) reported

    @JediAssasin117 @NotTrendel1 @caitsunee That’ll probably be changed later down the line and I doubt people buy those loot boxes. Since grinding them is like any other game but overwatch was a problem

  • MissBlacktailed Agat (@MissBlacktailed) reported

    " Rendering device has been lost " **** off Overwatch, I did anything to fix it, what do you want from me

  • villainiko niko™️ | saw jodie 6/16 (@villainiko) reported

  • PR0DI6II Aaron (@PR0DI6II) reported

    My audio settings in overwatch 2 keep resetting to default. Like I put in my output. Leave settings go back and it rests to default. Anyone know how to fix this 🫠

  • _cosmicastro jess 🌱 (@_cosmicastro) reported

    Is anyone else having issues with account merging on overwatch? It tells me my account is ready to merge and to close the game and wait a minute, but when I reopen the game it puts me in queue again? Anyone else? #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • someguythoughs L'exquisite Douleur. 🇺🇦🖤 (@someguythoughs) reported

    @PlayOverwatch 3 days since release. 3 days full of problems. I bought Overwatch and I bought Overwatch 2 Watchpoint pack. I don't give a **** it's a free to play, I still bought the game and this is not acceptable at all. You guys are not an indie company. Stop fooling with us.

  • TheRealObamaPR Obama🇵🇷🌳🌳🌳 (@TheRealObamaPR) reported

    So did blizzard fix Overwatch?

  • eikoi11 eiko (@eikoi11) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hi, when I log into Overwatch 2 on Xbox I get the LC-208 or sometimes LC-202 errors, and the trouble-shooting steps didn't work. When I try to log in on PC I put in my account details but it kicks me back into a queue where I need to put my account details in again.

  • AhaMomagic Momagic | Nekoween (@AhaMomagic) reported

    Overwatch 2 went from bad to even worse lmfao. Now there’s a chat glitch that’ll spend your money on micro-transactions, and blizzard DOESN’T refund MTX purchases… Worst launch of 2022 for any game.

  • Primalrockfairy PrimalDiancie (@Primalrockfairy) reported

    I just spent ******* 20 bucks on Overwatch 2 and the game proceeded to: Glitch out and not let me migrate my account and put me in a permanent queue Steal 20 dollars from me and not give me anything in return And won’t let me play ANYTHING. Fix your ******* game @Blizzard_Ent

  • hellindell 안또 / anto. (@hellindell) reported

  • PRADAJUMIL riva (@PRADAJUMIL) reported

    twitter broken overwatch role queue LONG

  • Handsome_Jake_ Tribune of the Plebs (@Handsome_Jake_) reported

    Blizzard patched Overwatch to fix it and now instead of queuing forever to get into the game now you queue forever to find a match lmao

  • Ashlewhy1 Ash ✨ (@Ashlewhy1) reported

    @Xfinity is quite literally the worst service. I’ve been waiting in 45+ minute queues to play #Overwatch and I can only get one game before being booted offline (I’m hardwired mind you..) and @comcast told me that it wasn’t installed correctly.. L O L
